and exact description thereof, which will enable those skilled in theart to make and use the same, reference being bad to the accompanyingdrawings, forming part of this specification.

The present invention relates to a novel manner of securing the rail ofbuggy and other carriage-seatsmore particularly to and around the backand ends of such seats, whereby, while it can be set on and removed fromthe seat with ease and readiness, when on it is perfectly firm, secure,and rigid. In the accompanying plate of drawings my improvedshifting-rail is illli'strated 1 Figure 1 being a longitudinal verticalsection of a bugg -scat with it applied thereto, and

Figure 2 a transverse vertical section taken in the plane of the line 1:x, fig. 1.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

A, in the drawings, represents a buggy-seat, of 'which 13 is its bottomboard, 0 its end pieces, and D its back board. To the hack piece orboard D, between its two ends, are applied two metallic straps, F, that,extending over the upper edge G thereto, have recesses H underneath themto receive hook-shaped pieces I suitably fixed to the hack hoard Joi'the buggy-rail for catching in the said recess under the said straps F.L, metallic straps applied to the end pieces 0, one to each of the same,in which end straps are notches M, suitable for GOV receiving thespring-lever catches N, fixed to the bu v-rail .K at proper pointstherefor, and for such springs to engage, therewith.
